Men need to start being honest with why they don’t want to be in a relationship/marriage any longer. Rather than adjust through unassertive, evasive coping mechanisms, causing more harm. Selfish or not, it’s better than being passive. Society is demanding more openness from us.
As the world is evolving & certain topics are garnering attention on a global scale, being docile won’t do us any good. Our stories are valid too. This isn’t a time to be ‘a man’, this is a time to be human. Being a man only strengthens the bias that we are strong all the time.
We need to start having honest conversations, the delicate, sensitive ones. Gradually dismantling faulty systems that only celebrates our strengths, cloaking our woes & weaknesses. We are not super humans & that’s okay. In the long run it has only done us more harm than good.
I’m open to new dialogues, new learnings & knowleges that decentralises control & distributes it evenly. I’m open to taking the time to re-educate myself & being a better human. I’m open to healing, new experiences, charting my own course. I’m open to not being strong everytime.
Almost all human experiences resonates across board. There is this general unspoken consensus that men are alienated to these experiences & it has been diminished to Whataboutism. Whether it is the chicken or egg dilemma, who started what first, I’m in support for dismantling rn.
